Nokia experiments with location-based white space services in Cambridge, UK (video)

Following news of the first successful white space trials in Cambridge, UK, Nokia is now touting its research in the area with a demonstration of location-based services for the unlicensed spectrum. Traditionally, proponents of white space usage have positioned this unused portion of the airwaves as a viable, low-cost method of data transmission, but the Nokia folks have now demonstrated its ability to pinpoint one's location with much greater accuracy than either WiFi or cellular networks. Think of it as a counterpoint to NFC, if you will, but in the following clip, we're shown how an individual might move throughout a museum, and as they approach various exhibits, one's smartphone could provide supplemental information for the nearby artifacts.

We are very sorry, Jessica Sanchez. But your version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" was only the second best we've heard this week.

That's because the video of a father and his three adorable children has gone viral in which the family rocks out to this Queen hit as if they were characters in Wayne's World.

It's apparently a morning tradition for the quartet, which makes its drive to school as enjoyable as human possible everyday. Sorry, other dads around the world, but this guy is setting the bar awfully high. Watch now:
